Our new outdoor equipment has arrived
The children have had a whale of a time today exploring the new outdoor equipment that was delivered today. The ELC crawled straight into the pipes and barrels and the P6/5 worked out how to make large structures from 3D shapes.

P5 STEM day at SAMS
P5 enjoyed a brilliant day out at SAMS thanks to Iain Fulton and the STEM team from Argyll & Bute and to Helen McNeil from SAMS for facilitating the event in a real scientific setting.
Activities included designing a ‘grab machine’ to find treasure buried under the sea and in the sea bed (super large containers); creating a short action scene in front of a green screen to make a video ‘swimming under the sea’; building Lego with moving parts and programming the devices to move to your commands; enjoying a video and discussion with a real scientist who had visited the Arctic and trying on her stuff; finally we made boats out of various random materials and the boat that held the most pennies won a visit from Mr Fulton, it was quite a tense count as you will see from the photos but Taynuilt won and we are negotiating a date for his visit to develop our STEM learning.
It was also nice to be assisted by some pupils from Oban High School including two of our former pupils Mitchell and Hayden.
